My little fighter, my star, my shining light, my joy passed peacefully in my arms today.
Funny how so many times I so nearly lost you in a short time together. Rescued from a filthy bare hutch, green water and no food curled up with your brother clinging to life, you ended up with me. Oh how you loved having paper to play in..
Skinny, no hair on your tail, but you was not going to let that stop you playing
Sadly after only being with us overnight, you had to be rushed to the vets the following morning, you were so weak and sick I thought I would loose you that day. However you fought hard, took you medicine so beautifully and covered me in your sweet kisses dooking constantly. You knew then how much I loved you my princess.
Soon you were back to health and up for mischief at any opportunity..
Ferret in a bucket..
Boing nearly got you
Got you..
We had so much fun together, no matter how down I got, you made everything ok again. You had only been well a few months when you started to loose your hair.. The dreaded AD
But you were not going to let that stop you, oh how you loved being had fed and spoiled with your warm jacket. Once chipped you fort back hard and got better.
Loving time in the sun
Keeping a watchful eye on your small pet human so he didn't wake your brother..
Even with you never being in the best of health, you always doted over your barmy brother, when he sadly passed I thought we were going to loose you also, but your strength kept you going, with the help of the crazy crew, particularly Buck, who you loved to roll over.
Struck down again with a chest infection, but you (I thought) beat that, the medication seemed to be working you were comfortable, if not a little wobbly on you old legs.
I did wonder what on earth you were upto last night, when you insisted on getting out of your hutch when I cleaned your litter tray, beatled across the kitchen floor and out the door. I followed you wondering what on earth you were doing but down the hallway you went, through the living room and out into the conservatory. I thought you just wanted a wander, I should have guessed something was up the way you went to Eddie, Raffy and Fizzgig's hutch and dragged your claws down the wire to wake them up. All three came nose to nose with you. Next you did the same at the crazy's hutch, even Louis came down to see you, once you touched noses with everyone you came back to me to be carried back. Little did I know you were saying goodbye to everyone.
Still you ate your porridge this morning, licking lips and making me wipe your face after - cheeky moo. However you just wanted cuddles scratching at the door to get into my arms, you knew that was where you wanted to be and that was where you suddenly took your last breath.
Sleep peacefully my beautiful Princess xxx love you always xx
